Zakeen - you cant close it with him as the highest bidder, but you could make it a buy it now auction, and then tell him the time when your putting it up, and it is his problem if he missess out....because you still get the money

If you guys don't really feel that you can trust each other, you can use an escrow service. Ebay recommends www.escrow.com and only that service. I've looked into it before when I was bidding on a bicycle and kind of had my doubts that the seller was legit. When you factor in the cost of the frame, the small escrow fee and hassle is well worth it. Also since it protects both the buyer and seller, you guys could split the fees.

Luckily, I've had no problems dealing with people on this board and haven't really heard of anyone getting really burned either. Good luck.

if you're not sure of each other, i would let the deal go and try to buy something near by.i bought a lot on ebay, i even bought a 3500 usa dollar moots after the auction was finisched wich was the most stupid thing i ever did,but it worked out fine !then i sold three frames through a german bike forum to people i have never heard of before or after the deal...

sometimes you can wire transfer money from a credit card,wich might make it insured ?
